Cataclysmic Clash: BLAZING RESOLVE/Gawain

Introduction

Playstyle: Rushdown

Health: 900

Strengths	Weaknesses
Goes fast: Fastest ground movement in the game. Just run at people and don't look back. Projectiles: Both of Gawain's projectiles are really helpful when he needs to approach. 236A/B/C can act as a cover, and 22C can be used to hit an opponent at mid-range, allowing for easy follow-ups that will get him in close.	Below average defense: Gawain doesn't really have a whole lot he can do if his opponent manages to turn the tables and start putting pressure on him.

Gawain is a character who wants to get in his opponent's face and never leave. He is by far the fastest character in the game, with the highest run speed and and many moves that can easily close a gap. He can put some serious pressure on a defending player with his nasty mixups. His Driving Force allows him to cancel almost all of his moves on block or whiff, making his pressure even more terrifying.

Special Moves

Sky Slicer 236A or B or C (Air OK)

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Block Advantage Guard Attribute A 40 - - - - Mid Projectile A wave-shaped projectile that starts out slow and gains speed as it travels. Used as cover while approaching, or just to try and poke the opponent from a distance. There can only be one wave out at a time Moves forward if used on the ground, or diagonally downward if used in the air Very limited range, only reaches across about a quarter of the stage B 40 - - - - Mid Projectile B version has longer startup in exchange for more range. For obvious reasons, this is generally the version you want to use when you're further away. Reaches across about a third of the stage If used in the air, moves at a higher angle than the A version EX 75 - - - - Mid Projectile EX version has a bigger hitbox, does more damage, and travels faster. About the same range as the B version This is easier to cover yourself with because it moves faster Deals some pretty heavy stun on hit, allowing for an easy combo

Rapid Rush 41236A or B or C (Air OK)

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Block Advantage Guard Attribute A 7x9 (63) - - - - Mid Strike Gawain kicks 9 times where he's standing. This version is used in combos. If whiffed in the air you can't recover until you land (applies to all versions) Difficult to BR outside of the corner B 7x9 (63) - - - - Mid Strike Gawain does a short dash forward before kicking, otherwise identical to the A version. This version is often used to follow up after catching an opponent with 22C. It also sees a lot of use in combos, usually if the A version doesn't reach. EX 7x15 (105) - - - - Mid Strike Gawain kicks 15 times, and moves forward while doing so. Used to tack on some extra damage and push the opponent closer to the corner.

Can't recover until you land EX 30, 40, 35 (105) - - - - Mid Strike Similar to the B version, but has a second follow up that sends the opponent downwards.
